Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has told a New York court that he never even discussed Facebook with Paul Ceglia, the man claiming a huge stake in the company, let alone signed a contract relating to it.

It's probably something we've all wished for at one time or another. It's all very well being allowed to express our approval of a Facebook post, but sometimes you just want to be, well, a bit more negative.

It's not often that the name 'Mark Zuckerberg' inspires sympathy. But spare a thought for the Indianapolis attorney of that name, who's been fighting a Kafkaesque battle with Facebook to try and prove that he really exists.
